I liked this app very much -- it presents the information I need in a clean usuable way. Very flexible with great options. HOWEVER, one significant flaw -- I really need the ability to label notes with scale degree rather than letter. It's a lot more useful to me to know where the third or the fifth is rather than the letter names of the notes. That small addition would make this a five star, use every day, app.

I thought this app would be an interesting addition to my guitar reference/Info apps but am a little disappointed. I first downloaded the free app and then bought the full version so it would be able play the notes??? When I compare the screen shots on the Play Store page and what shows up on my tablet I seem to be missing half the info that I should have and it only plays the chords, nothing else. Also there doesn't seem to be any kind of help file so someone who gets this hoping for insight into guitar playing will be at a loss! All I can say is "Needs a lot more before it's even worth the "inexpensive" price.

I havnt seen support for 7 String guitar : ) its just a pain to piece it all together with that one string missing, but of course you can get around fine with this. But i think if they add support for say bass, 7, 8 and even 9 string guitar that would make this app sell hard.

It's pretty sweet but the screen doesn't fit my phone , turbo 2 , and there's no half diminished cords. Also didn't have all scales.
